Rb26dett Computer 400kw+

[Slydr83]

Hi guys after any information on what computer i should use to support 400kw+ for my rb26dett build currently using a nistune ecu. Also running on pump fuel.

Potential use for track drag and drift.

Basic Mods list

9.0:1 cp pistons

Gt2860-5×2

720cc injectors

Twin 044

Twin z32 afm

What sort of functions do you want to enable? Will the Nistune do what you want? ECU's are not "power limited" as such.

[Slydr83]

Honestly not really too fussed on functions. Just wanting to get an idea of what people are using and best options for my application.

Nistune will do the job. If you have to buy bigger AFMs though....then advice given above starts to look sensible.

One good thing about Nistune is that it looks stock.

You only need one 044 for pump fuel

[hypergear]

I usually Adaptronic for anything else. But definitely go for Haltech for GTR.

[sneakey pete]

Haltech or link plugin.
If you ever want to go flex link will be a few hundred cheaper i think

Legit don't know why PowerFC hasn't been mentioned. Your Nistune will do the job though.

[Piggaz]

Because it's from the Jurassic period. But something from this decade for gods sake.

Bah Piggaz, theres nothing wrong with a PowerFC. It does the job just like any other ECU.

But why would you consider a PowerFC when you already have Nistune? Makes no sense to take out powerful OEM ECU with tuneability and replace with less powerful vintage ECU with the same requirement for AFMs.

There is everything wrong with it when you have something in there already that will do the job. It's a sideways step. If you're going to change something, change it for the better.

While you're right, I chimed in saying PowerFC because everyone else was saying other brand name ECUs that he didn't need, PowerFC is more on his level. PowerFC > Nistune anyway. They're both basic budget ECUs, but they'll both do the job.

The power fc is shiet. I was running one and got rid of it for a haltech. Pfc not even worth the metal they are made from.

Lol.

Nistune can do way more than a power fc.

What makes you say that? Mine's been tuned on Nistune and on a PFC, both drove just fine. Was tracked with the PFC with zero issues, made 400kw. Definitely more down to the tuner than it is the ECU.

[XKLABA]

I have a PFC in my 32 and the original tuner who is one of the most well known tuners in Sydney did a farkin horrible job of tuning it and I wanted to bin it then gave it to Scott@Insight and now it drives better then the stock one ever did

TL;DR, PFC requires a better then good tuner

EmTron > Haltech anyday of the week

[Borci88]

^^ This. I'm not saying Haltech is shit, I'm not saying Nistune is shit, I'm not saying PFC is better than all of those combined. I'm saying there is nothing wrong with all of those options provided you have the right tuner. To say PowerFC is shit because its old is naive, 8 times out of 10 its more than anyone on this website needs, we're not all running 800kw drag cars where we need every sensor ever conceived and an ECU to shut everything down because it broke a ringland at 8000rpm while making that 800kw.

Don't need to spend 2k on an ECU to suit the "drive around town and maybe a track day a couple of times a year" application.
